| Abstract: |
ABEND HARUKAS uses a lnfra-void-structure that connects vertical frames in which multi- dimensional pathways and environmental voids in a department store, offices, and a hotel are constructed as structural systems, through the outrigger floors that are horizontal frames mainly used as infrastructure floors. This lnfra-void-structure not only forms the main architecture of a supertall compact city but also achieves the top-grade seismic and wind performance. Thus, ABEND HARUKAS is an energizer for the city where it is situated, as a supertall compact city, going beyond a simple building, providing an elegant integration of structure, architectural design and environment. |
